"PAW"etry!
You may notice your child bringing home poems, jokes, or playful language from school! Poetry and humor are important parts of learning because they help students understand figurative language—such as similes, metaphors, rhyme, and wordplay. Exploring poems and jokes builds vocabulary, strengthens reading comprehension, and encourages creative thinking. Most importantly, it helps students see that language can be meaningful and fun. We encourage families to enjoy poems and jokes together at home and talk about what the words really mean beyond their literal definitions. Here's one to talk about with your child this week as you discuss that February is Black History Month--join PAWZ in celebrating!

The February lunch menu is here!

City Park is blessed with many great staff members! Each month, PAWZ provides the opportunity for colleagues to nominate one another for a spotlight moment! This month, Mrs. Allen was nominated. We hope you enjoy getting to know a little bit more about this outstanding educator!

PAWZ is proud to have this team repping the PAW today at the Northwest Regional Tech Competition in Rome, GA!

We look forward to welcoming our Panthers to the 405 on Tuesday! Doors will open at 9:30 (2 hours later than the original  time of 7:30). Reminder: Do not drop your students off until teachers are in their spots and you are at one of the drop-off spots. Also, drop them off in line. There is no parking unless you have an appointment. Kindly pay attention to the one-way directions. The Annex building is not for City Park students. They have programs that need the parking. • Instruction begins at 10:30. • Tardy bell is at 10:35. • Lunchtime will be on the same schedule. • ASP: yes, there will be ASP.

The 100th Day may have passed, and we may be all anxiously awaiting the weather call, but the 405 is still rocking the block with some great learning experiences!! From 101 Day PreK Dalmatians, to a powerful life lesson from Officer Chandler to some beautiful student art work, the 405 is PAWpping with Endless PAWSIBILITIES this week!
